Best Sweet And Sour Sauce

1 cup canned pineapple juice (, see note)

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

OR brown sugar alternative ((for low sugar option))

⅓ cup rice vinegar (, found in the Asian or general vinegar section of any grocery store, or you can substitute apple cider vinegar)

3 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (GF)

For the Cornstarch Slurry: 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Optional: 2-3 drops all-natural red food coloring

Place all of the ingredients, except for the cornstarch slurry, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for another minute until thickened, stirring constantly. If using red food coloring, stir it in.
Let the sauce cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it will keep for 2-3 weeks.
